If you can test it then it would be great.  My attempt with `-f src-release'
failed.  I did not try hard.

Still I would find it fragile to generate file in . and search for it first in
$(srcdir).

I tried first but it does not work.  I did not check the makeinfo sources but
still GDB should probably workaround it even if it is a makeinfo bug.
